Rent a Prof - The university comes into the classroom

Expert lectures in schools, an offer for advanced courses in the upper secondary school.

Simply arrange for a professor from the University of Siegen to visit your classroom free of charge and have the latest research findings and exciting topics explained to you in a clear way:

  • What are the thinnest materials in the world?
  • What holds the universe together?
  • What is the special theory of relativity?
  • What is artificial intelligence and machine vision?

A scientist from our university will be happy to answer these and other questions. Current topics in physics, electrical engineering, mathematics and computer science can be found in the list below. You can also see exactly how a lecture at the university actually works. After the lecture, questions about studying will also be answered: How does teaching and learning work at university? What career prospects does a degree course offer me?
